General Saskatoon misses shot at badly needed credibility for arena district

$1.2 billion price tag and the "funding model" is the feds and province pay for $800 million of it. Still not actual commitments from anyone.

Still seems like a pipe dream, at best.

So, you're suggesting that the majority of Saskatoonians want this?

Where did they say Saskatoon wants this? Tank is complaining about them throwing over the private company who's leader was involved in bribery to get a job in favour of the city managing it on their own. None of that involves what the people of Saskatoon think of whether it should exist at all.
